[steam for ever]

I have an article documenting how the locoal people fought to dave the viaduct, even hanging signs off it.
I think that with that much support to save the bridge back then, putting in a new steam line would have similar support.

I should mention that at the time of closure, a large group of people tried to take over the runnig of the railway to provide a commuter service between Marple and Macclesfield with steam runnig at weekends, but this was halted by the lines destruction south of Bollington.
They had a different challenge back then.
Such a project would not work now.

We are runnig a different project and we shall always remember their struggle.
